Dear Owen I have not started the Pauling Therapy yet because I cant find anything about it specifically helping heart failure your advice will be greatly appreciated Thank You
While Pauling's vitamin C/lysine therapy is not specifically recommended for heart failure, most people have chronic scurvy - silent heart disease. We notice that various symptoms clear with sufficient/optimal vitamin C intake. There is no reason to hesitate, and pretty good reasons not to!
As far as heart failure, author and CoQ10 expert Stephen Sinatra claims that European/Japanese doctors consider heart failure to be a CoQ10 deficiency disease. I would probably begin taking as much supplemental coQ10 (ubiquinone and ubiquionol) as I could afford (with meals/fats) e.g. 300 mg daily, and more up to 600 or 1200 mg until the symptoms of heart failure reside.
See my entire recommendation:
